Terms of Service
Last updated: 2026-04-15
These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a binding agreement between you and Ephemr ("we", "us", "our"). By creating an account, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. The Service
Ephemr provides ephemeral static web publishing: you upload a bundle of HTML/CSS/JS and we host it at a generated URL for a limited time. Pages auto-expire and are not executed server-side.
2. "As is" — no warranties (subject to the Australian Consumer Law)
Except for any rights or remedies you have under the Australian Consumer Law ("ACL") or other laws that cannot lawfully be excluded, the Service is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, reliability, or uninterrupted availability. We do not guarantee that the Service will be error-free, secure, or meet your requirements.
Australian Consumer Law. Our goods and services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the ACL. Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any guarantee, right, or remedy conferred by the ACL or any other law that cannot lawfully be excluded. To the extent we are permitted to limit our liability for a breach of a non-excludable statutory guarantee, our liability is limited, at our option, to (in the case of services) supplying the services again or paying the cost of having the services supplied again.
3. No guarantees of availability or retention
Subject to Section 2, we do not guarantee uptime, performance, data durability, or retention of any page, bundle, or account data. Pages may be removed at or before their stated expiration. You are solely responsible for keeping your own copies of anything you upload.
4. Limitation of liability
Subject to Section 2 and to any rights you have under the ACL that cannot be excluded, to the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, data, use, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of (or inability to use) the Service. Our aggregate liability for any claim is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim, or (b) USD $10.
5. Suspension, termination, and denial of service
We may, at our sole discretion and at any time, for any reason or no reason, with or without notice: suspend, throttle, restrict, modify, or terminate your account; remove, disable, or refuse to publish any page or content; deny service to any person or request; and change or discontinue all or part of the Service. We have no obligation to provide a reason and, subject to Section 2, no liability to you or any third party for doing so.
6. Acceptable use

You are solely responsible for all content you upload and all activity conducted through your account and API keys. Keep your credentials secret; you must notify us promptly at support@ephemr.io of any suspected compromise.
7. Content and takedowns
You retain ownership of content you upload. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, transmit, cache, display, and process that content solely as necessary to operate the Service. We may remove content at any time under Section 5, and we will consider good-faith copyright and abuse notices sent to support@ephemr.io.
8. Accounts and eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into these Terms. You must provide accurate information and keep it current. One person or entity per account unless we agree otherwise in writing.
9. Fees
The Service is free. There is no paid plan and we do not charge you to create an account or publish a page. If we introduce a charge later, the price and terms will be shown before you are asked to pay. Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law are not affected. See the Refund & Cancellation Policy.
10. Privacy
Our handling of personal information is described in the Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms.
11. Indemnity
To the extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Ephemr from any claim, demand, loss, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to your content, your use of the Service, or your breach of these Terms or applicable law.
12. Changes to the Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time by posting a revised version, and for material changes we will take reasonable steps to notify you (for example by email or an in-product notice). Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
13. Governing law and jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Victoria, Australia. You and we submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Victoria and the courts competent to hear appeals from those courts, except that either party may seek urgent injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.
14. Miscellaneous
If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. Our failure to enforce any right is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them freely. These Terms are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service.
